Parametric facade design
-
Any good tutorials on how the following type of facades can be easily made in sketchup?
The facade was originally made in Rhino + grasshopper.I tried to intersect a terrain and a curved geometrical horizontal plane with my perforated screen pattern but that doesn't help.

Why not make like this ?
And you make anything you want with the doted surface!

The easiest way to become Frank O Gehry. Thanks a lot for this!! My mind was feeling dizzy as experienced in the theatre while watchign the shape shifting architecture of Inception and Dr. Strange.

it's a very useful (and robust) plugin.. you can model some simple flat shapes and then map them to curved surfaces.. here you can see an example of use.. a simple process to get a shape that would be not so easy and fast without flowify and a couple of oter plugins.. http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=397%26amp;t=66269
